Synopsis

Solar returns employ the astrological technique of reading the next year's activity for a chart calculated for when the transiting Sun returns to its natal position. Almost every Western astrologer has tried to use solar returns. However, there have been so many methods proposed, that the beginner in this technique is often bewildered about how to get the core meanings out of this system. Dr. Lehman uses 240 examples, including one example of 11 consecutive returns, and another with 41 consecutive returns, as well as other examples by subject, to illustrate not only the cycles found within solar returns, but how to apply them. Learn about solar returns for relationships, jobs, financial success, children, relocation, education, honors, medical issues, as well as death. Dr. Lehman takes you through the method, the application, and the kinds of issues raised by this method.

About this title

From the Author

I wrote this book because I have found that many people (myself included, some years ago) have gotten so confused and frustrated by all the variations in solar returns technique that they have abandoned the technique entirely.

Like all my books, I do not assume that the reader has fully mastered or integrated classical technique in their astrology. Hang in with me!
